Sea Surface Temperature and Hurricane Bertha

On land, the passage of a severe storm might be marked by fallen trees or swollen streams. In the ocean, a hurricane leaves a swath of cold water in its path. That trail of cold water marks the passage of Hurricane Bertha through the North Atlantic Ocean in this sea surface temperature image.

This image originally appeared in the NASA Earth Observatory story Sea Surface Temperature and Hurricane Bertha.
